As previously announced in July, AMC Theatres is partnering with newcomer, 306 Releasing, to bring Joshua Sanchez’sIndependent Spirit Award-nominated drama Four to a theater near you, starting next month.

An adaptation on an off-Broadway play by Christopher Shinn, Four stars Wendell Pierce of The Wire fame, alongside Aja Naomi King, Emory Cohen, E.J. Bonilla and Yolanda Ross, in a tale about of a married black man who steps out on his family, on the night of the Fourth of July, with a much younger white man whom he met online, and the way his family quietly deals with his duplicitous life.

The film’s script was both a 2007Tribeca All Access award recipient, and a 2008No BordersIndependent Film Week selection, with a longer synopsis that reads:

In a nameless, suburban American town, the smell of barbeque fills the air as Fourth of July celebrations move from a hot summer day into night. Joe, a man who works hard and travels a lot, leaves his family behind for the holiday, citing a business trip. Abigayle, his precocious daughter, is left to tend to her ill mother and manage the house on her own, yet again. Seeking just enough attention to get her through another night of her lonely responsibilities, she turns to Dexter, a former high school basketball star whose best days are behind him. And while Abigayle is out with Dexter, Joe is quietly spending time around town with June, a young man he met online who’s struggling to accept himself. And for just this night, the small world that these four live in will become even smaller, though the freedom they experience has never been so dangerous, fleeting and honest.
